TEI 154: Pitfalls that can trap new product managers

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next
episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister,
PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation
and managing products become more successful, grow their careers,
and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: A few months ago
I was contacted by a product manager, Areo Wong, who works in
Hong Kong. He described himself as a “newbie” with about one-year
of experience. He has been struggling to learn what the role of
product manager was really about. After trying a few different
approaches to learning more, he took a very creative path. He
decided to interview 30 expert product managers and create a
virtual summit of the insights shared on the interviews. This would
help him rapidly learn and provide an opportunity for other younger
product managers to do the same. I thought it was a great idea
since my work is all about helping product managers know what they
really need to know. So, I eagerly accepted his invitation to be
part of his Product Manager Summit. More recently, I was discussing
his experience as a product manager and what he had learned so
far.
